[Applause] here is the lineup for the first of the four races in the heptathlon mountains of belgium Chiapas Panola of Brazil and wheeler of Colombia barman of India and then we go D'Souza rubriz ill shoot promising Ukrainian and a rich school of Switzerland well a fine start particularly by de Sousa the South African should fit behind the rest of the field now itself it's a greener of Colombia also done well and nearest the camera rook stone of Switzerland Luke stills gonna come to her with this place woofster leaders who ends it and the second place it Sabrina and 1381 on the clock boyhood school the youngsters happen II came here with the rest of 1395 and she smashed that with 30 and 81 so there's confirmation of the first race of the hurdles Geraldine Brooks still winning in 1380 at wheeler 14:03 in barman 1414 and all safely completing it second of the four races in this should be very close one because they all have best times in the 35 to 37 range and as the lineup Rodriguez planar Chris Anderson Felix Przewalski's Farkas damage and Lukey Nova [Applause] in already dress in the benevolence gank strongly with tree sap incisor on the actor but on the inside with Regan's of cuba looks to be coming away with this race we've also got Cucina be running off this rodriguez who he wins it with to sign in second place thirteen point six one Willits pretty close to rodriguez his personal vested 1452 she's been an outstanding young step i take a check on the times rodriguez running 1364 a thousand and thirty six points dad each CRA's on person and prayin are all over a thousand points as well down to zero ski park as he ran 1405 in eight our first chance to see one of the new generation of superstars in athletics that's naffy tiems of belgium who goes in Lane eight year after her sensational Olympic victory and she's moved to third on the world all-time list for the epitaphs Lance being just the fourth woman to score over 7,000 points in the epic well how well away TM relatively slowly away and it said ACO is better they're leading the way with salmon wrath on the inside TM now beginning to come through those lock plates getting going but in the center lane it's better who wins this race from zydeco and Salman Rock and good time there 13:33 but TM a little slowly away I thought and well the time is really reasonable but a little short of her best so better winning in 1331 sataek o 1337 Salman Rob 1352 and TM off to a 13:54 start 4044 points [Music] as the full lineup then Visser and Williams were two specialists at Ethel's catchable Johnson Thomson Schaffer a very consistent Germany number two on the world is this year blue garden the USA is another very fine hurdler and I can yet see ad Medina from Latvia always begins again the superstars by visa the favorite in this particular event Johnson touching also visa from the American these two get welfare the recipe we share instead and 1285 on the clock as expected the hurdle specialist machine Dicer because of a little class she's a very happy obviously with that tights [Music] there's the results of the final race in the heptathlon nadine Visser 1285 411 47 points from William Shafer Boogaard Johnson Thompson close to her personal best catch ever Jimmy II do and then I can yet she had Medina and this is what happened after the hurdles nadine vissa was a brilliant 1285 run to get 11 47 points from Kendall Williams Carolyn Schaeffer Erica Boogaard and it Vetter Katrina Johnson Thompson all major contenders for a medal here and TM back in 11th place but not much to worry about that the hurdles isn't one of her better events the high jump though will be and she'll expect to move up this leaderboard very significantly we're split into two pools with seven at 190 plus jumpers going into less this is a crucial moment for Kendall Williams than one of the favorites from the USA American champion third attempt at 177 so a very talented jumper No so that is disappointing so although not a complete disaster because she does have a a 174 to her credit today from Nathalie who's done 186 that is a disappointment and that's by one of the favorites the top two incidentally TM and johnson thompson are have elected to enter the competition at the height above this at 180 but for Kendall Williams that's the end of her competition obviously tricky conditions were the very wet run up they've had the squeegees out there the rollers to try to absorb as much as the rain as they possibly can Damon Rowe who is in herself a top high jumper also coming out for her third attempt at 177 Americans a lot of problems of these Championships and I'm afraid we have to add her to it wasn't really close and Damon Rowe exits the competition like a compatriot Kendall Williams 174 so can Shaffer join the successful attempts at this height well she can well it's certainly going well for Schaefer that equals a personal best so this is the crucial moment and it could have the implications when we look at the medalist tomorrow the end of the day because Johnson Thompson needs a good score in the high jump needs this hike 186 third account on the freight 180 is way way below what we got to expect and that is a huge disappointment for her for her many fans for an athlete who's been immensely promising for years and it looks just at that one moment her hopes are dashed to the medal here this is Nadine Visser well she's been taking puddle over jumps here this is her third go oh and she - sold so our herd is fastest continuing to go very well indeed not quite as high of course as Brule but nonetheless 177 as nappy tiem the favorite for the title advances now to try one meter 89 and every inch a high jumper there after the grouse disappointment of Katrina Johnson Thompson going out at the previous height T I'm just going on and on Rodriguez now the bar is at 189 her second attempt this would be a personal best if she clears it no failures up to include in the previous high to 186 here she comes oh yes in the 22-year old Cuban soars over that now TM is already clear Rodriguez is clear and this is the third attempt now for Tucci Nova one of the women who has cleared over 190 she goes out very reasonably happy I would think so can she go yet higher and due to personal vest in one competition she goes to Rodriguez of Cuba measured approach she goes oh yes Wow what a performance some other time to do it so to go on 195 this is Tia this is world class are jumping territory we won't see too many going higher than that in the individual high jump and his TM first attempt clean card so far oh yes well of are still traveling but it's there 195 40 M tried really showing their enthusiasm for each and every event and she goes this is becoming magical Wow 195 I just heard the tert Rodriguez has unsurprisingly decided to retire from the competition well well she might because she's had one going at 198 right the last chance for TM to go up 198 in the high jump yeah this thousands of people clapping her arm willing her if they possibly can to clear this fight well no with 195 Nappi TM has moved into the lead in the heptathlon after two events there's the result of the hi John TM and Rodriguez both 195 personal best for the young Cuban then Schaefer equalled her best as she inclusion over went over 186 person and shook 183 the big disappointment Johnson Thompson only 180 and the Americans and we got them at the bottom LePage their Boogaard de Monroe they were well below their form at 184 as indeed will be on the next page was Kendall Williams as well at that height as we look down the full list of the competitors with just one competitor having dropped out of the competition so far louder konnichi at medina who had that hamstring pull in the hurdles the heptathlon shop was there in two groups most of the best competitors are in group a so they start with that better and shaffer well she's got a personal best in this a discipline of 14 meters 79 and see whether she can get close to that [Music] that's pretty good again I do admire this athlete she says so consistently good performance she never seems to have a poor event that must challenge her personal best yeah that's confirmed it is a new personal best 1484 a Christian over had a good couple of verse first events she's like six 2028 one of these athletes who is very consistent across the whole range of heptathlon disciplines just think staying on balance in the circle there and it again it's midway between those two sector lines drawn at 14 meters and 15 meters so she's pleased with her start and a season's best 1480 to her credit now then it's the turn of Daffy satu owner just now feat TM she leads the competition the Olympic champion the 22 year old third on the all-time list very tall just again holding a balance there are as an excellent start very good start there for TIA 1517 takes her over 3,000 points already now Rodriguez the Cuban buying second after the first two disciplines after brilliant by jumping now in the shot she started with a fairly modest foot 1249 she has gone over 14 meters and that's better because it's getting close to the 14 meter line still a what a little way short because she certainly moved into medal contention with the absence of I can't yet see at the Rodina and johnson thompson below form so this is an improvement yes 1345 she's now up to two nine six four points I look better in the first round she was a little below par early at 13 92 and she's a 16 meter footer exactly that this year as her season's best oh that's better yeah that looks like a 15 meter foot the best we've seen of course being a TM and de Monroe getting over 15 meters good technique rewarded with 1509 now Universal third put last chance for her to improve on 1391 lying seventh you can see on that caption overall so far and maybe about it's just about 14 meters their person 1409 her best coming and the last there's the result of the shot TM the best of the day so increasing a lead with at fifteen seventeen day Munro and better also over 1509 personal bests there for Schaefer this is the second group that we've seen actually getting quicker and of course it includes the leader naffy TM who will go in Lane eight the big interest obviously here and T young in Lane eight see how she goes he seems to made up a little ground on D'Souza two lanes inside her those today Co is going and tea losing a little bit of grant there isn't indeed much to choose between these athletes so they Co being challenged now by capture Borough of the Czech Republic the team finishing a bit faster now all she might even snatch them from catch a bird is pretty close on the line the winning time 24:57 catch ever 24:56 TM adds 927 points to her total one hundredths of a second behind in second place zydeco de souza routine of a rich style not much to choose between but nan og mo e du losing a bit more ground the third of the four races of the heptathlon 200 meters this is the lineup trying to run down rodriguez outside of the human is talented and is holding our offshore again between them he been in athlete also run him very prominently indeed ahoo Antoine oh and I think she's just got the lead a little bit but better finishing strongly these two and the wheeler coming up ahead of Rodriguez but is the Bennion athlete who had one who looks that rack is at the end that she held on to win so there we go 2409 the confirm winning time then a griller then Vetter who gets 946 points Rodriguez who gets 941 so narrowing the gap on TM just a little just one raised before then that's this final race of the heptathlon daddy H William Shafer Boogaard Johnson Thompson visa Salman RAL [Applause] come into the home straight and the crowd roar as they appreciate that and on their favorite stunts and Thompson is coming through to win this by a big margin no question about that he's shown what you can do Shafer doing very well to get second place Boogaard is third and a splendid time by Johnson Thompson well it hasn't all gone right for her today but it's ended in style Johnson Thompson winning in twenty two point eight six four thousand of 93 points Schaefer taking second in 23:58 then du gard Visser Salman Roth danach and Kendall Williams Schaefer has taken the lead from TM in the heptathlon by justa 22 points both over 4,000 Rodriguez is in third Johnson Thompson moves all the way back up into the top ten in fourth place then better and visa the Dutch updates Lucy never damage as we run through the whole perspective quite a lot of changes with the results that came through from the 200 meters and quite a gap obviously between the top competitors over 4000 and the others just over 3,000 there those are the 30 women who will see again tomorrow London has delivered two fabulous days so far in the 2017 I double AF World Athletics Championships and have we got a day in store for you the first action of this day three of the eye of World Championships here in London and it's the women's heptathlon Katrina Johnson Thompson oh that's better that's really good 656 Stark the best we've seen for 865 Carolyn Schaefer second jump of the competition started with 610 former world junior champion 25 year old German and brilliant form this season oh that's look to extend it while they are on improving 620 and she's at four nine four eight so just 19 points behind Tia now idiot yeah this out Rodriguez after her modest open up that looks better yeah but she started a 577 and that's well beyond 6 meters there it is 6:23 floated back in fourth place for 8 to 6 here's Anouk Vetter I guess a little better for her as well 6:32 seasons bears excellent stop texture up to four seven eight one now that nadine Visser i ate at the moment for 670 the european under-23 hurdles champion final round her here and she improved yeah I think she can [Music] and yes 6:34 vissa tics are up to four seven six three and sixth overall now in a PTM started a 620 conservative 633 was good can she get close to her best of 657 oh that's a super jump that just shows what a star this young athlete is yes 657 seasons best for her 5044 points there's the heptathlon standings then after five events of seven naff ET amp the olympic champion over 5000 points with 5044 johnson thompson now into a medal position so five events down two more to go a javelin and an 800 meters [Applause] Johnson Thompson up into a bronze medal position after five events the British athlete [Applause] looking to get a good opening mark on the board [Applause] 41 meters and 72 a season's best for the British athlete dad itch bounces up and down 47 meters and 51 in the first round oh that's better the seasons best of 52 meters and 29 that's good points Visser her third and final throw 42 meters and 26 her third and final throat Schaffer of Germany in silver after the long jump 49 meters and 68 so Rodriguez of Cuba wonderful high jump yesterday didn't she have one meter in 95 it's over the 45 meter line on a wonderful world champion is having 47 meters and 41 better leading the way with a huge 55 meters and 32 but looking for a few more points here TM I mentioned she's very close with the likes of Schaefer on 800 meter best times going into the final event so third and final effort well it's over the 50-meter light is coming through 53 meters and 93 better looking to put a few more points on the board so can she improve on her 55 meters and 30 to her final throw and a lifetime best of 55 meters in 7600 that's not coming down that is absolutely massive from the Dutch athlete of 58 meters and 41 so the javelin throw summary for the women's heptathlon better 58 meters and 41 1024 points that's big points because it's big throwing Visser of the Netherlands 42 meters and 26 Johnson Thompson picking up exactly 700 points with her 41 meter plus throw so now we come to the conclusion of the head sentence and that's how it looks at the moment naffy TM surely on her way to gold leading with five 980 than the battle on for the silver during Schaefer at five 808 and better five 805 s only three points basically it's simple Vetter needs to beat Schaefer if she's going to overtake it Anouk Vetter well this isn't her good event to 1771 a personal best but she is in third place and should do enough to be able to hold on to that where's Carolyn Schaefer lips pretty good bets at the moment for the silver medal and just have to see how it pans out to 14 1 and Tia we didn't rate as a terribly good 800-meter runner but to 20 best in Rio and then she took 5 seconds of it just to show you her competitive zeal well off they go already Shekar is showing quite well on the inside with on those outside lanes looking for Salman will she's the fastest in the field johnson johnson also come here passionately from the fifth station order up there you can already see that the gaps are building up through the field here valia Salman road will germinate to an adjacent oxen butchering alone keep an eye on because the Schaffer is called important shakers you can see in the picture that five meters back to that field 60.5 Betty McCain is a very good time from a classy 800-meter whenever someone with - yeah biting it's our second from the back valued betta the both of those look pretty second to the major places in this particular race there they are right at the right of the screen their bets are coming up from TN shoulder and they're likely to get medals look at the gap between the top one is here excellent increase in tanks of course could be welcome 150 or so phone Johnson Thompson being urged on by the flag tremendous walls from the crowd to support the British after ages got every chance have moving up in the standings though they are salman roth and johnson Thompson they're coming in for a terrific performance here in this race listen Tiger legs though coming through it is first across the Rhine sawamatsu-kun Johnson Thompson finishing there was some and worth of magnificent effort 207 37 but we can look further back down the field she's just jogging in she's coming in in last place Schafer's finished and now nappy TR has finished well we'll take a check on the points but she's the gold medalist for sure Olympic gold last year in Rio and with six thousand seven hundred and eighty four points she's now the world champion and Schaefer can't control the emotion and on the world silver medal to the German athlete Lavetta picks up the bronze for the Netherlands as well we talked about future stars in track and field nefi TM young talented and we gold medals
